DIG DNA Labeling Mix is an easy-to-use labeling mixture for rapid random-primed labeling with digoxigenin (DIG)-11-deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP). DIG-dUTP is incorporated every 20 to 25 nucleotides in the newly synthesized DNA. This density of haptens in the DNA yields the highest sensitivity in the detection reaction.
This product is designed as a safer chemical. The DIG System was established as a sensitive and cost-effective alternative to radioactivity for the labeling and detection of nucleic acids. There are many available publications that prove the versatility of the DIG System, so use of radio-labeling is no longer the only option for labeling of DNA for hybridization.
